Hey again! Let me warn you guys now that updates will be a little slower. I just got back to school this week so don't expect a new chapter as quick as usual. But until that happens, please enjoy!

Ayumu's roommates have been walking through the forest after they flew passed the mountains. The walk would've been peaceful…

"I'm starving!"

… if it weren't for Haruna's whining.

"I can't believe we didn't bring any food!" Haruna complained.

"Haruna we get it! We were foolish to not plan ahead! There's nothing we can do about it now until…" Sera snapped at the unicorn until she noticed someone was missing.

"Where's Lady Hellscythe?"

Haruna turned around to see Eu was no longer with them. "She's gone! Where did she go?!"

The two of them went back along the path from which they came; after a bit they found Eu among the bushes eating the leaves. She looked up from her eating. "Hm?"

"Neckwearmancer… why are you eating leaves?" Asked Haruna incredibly confused with what she was doing. Eu held up her notepad 'I'm hungry.'

"Yes… we get that Lady Hellscythe. But why leaves?" Sera questioned the alicorn.

'We are ponies now, right? So I thought it could work. Try some, they taste better than you think' Eu answered through her notes as she resumed eating. Sera and Haruna glanced at each other waiting to see who would do it first. After a few more seconds Haruna went to the bush next to Eu and started eating. Her eyes widened as she munched.

"Wow! They taste great!" Haruna exclaimed with her mouth full and dunked her head back in the bush. Sera was shocked that she liked the taste. Maybe it is because of their new forms in this world. So she went over and tried them herself. "Well… never thought I'd be doing this." Sera admitted after swallowing.

At the volcanoes…

"Ready…Go!" Garble called out as Vex and Baff started tail-wrestling. As the two of them wrestled Spike hugged his own tail nervously. Afterwards Vex threw Baff over with his tail.

"Vex's the winner!" Garble exclaimed holding up the purple dragon's tail as the other dragons cheered. "Hey Ayumu, you're next! Go against Fizzle!" The red dragon called to Ayumu, who before he could protest Fizzle was already dragging him over to the center. His initial plan was to go against Spike and let him win so he won't hurt himself wrestling one of these guys, but then he thought the group would notice this and berate Spike even more, so it was probably for the best.

"Hey, you ready?" Fizzle asked him breaking his thoughts.

"Uh… yeah. Sure." Responded Ayumu as they both crossed their tails.

"Go!"

As the two began Ayumu had a somewhat bored look on his face as Fizzle looked strained, he was starting off small with Fizzle before he could go all out. After a bit, Ayumu decided he had enough.

"60% power." He whispered to himself and then lifted Fizzle up by the tail and threw him towards a boulder, shattering it a little.

"Ayumu's the winner!" Garble cheered lifting up Ayumu's tail. The zombie went back to Spike who had a big grin on face. "Way to go Ayumu!"

"Thanks, but you're the one I'm more worried about Spike." Ayumu admitted gesturing to Fizzle rubbing his head after hitting that rock and Baff was still holding his tail after his match. "*Gulp* G-good old tail-wrestling." Spike said hugging his tail again.

"We can't let little Spikey-Wikey wrestle one of them! He'll get clobbered!" Rarity whispered worriedly through the costume.

"Let's go!" Twilight motioned them to walk ahead. "I challenge Spike to a tail-wrestle." She said with a deeper voice.

Everyone looked at the new arrival oddly.

"Who's this weirdo?" Garble questioned.

"I think he's Crackle's cousin." Spear whispered to him.

They turned to up on the cliff to see another dragon that looked exactly like the one with them, scratching its side with its hind leg. (Except that one looked more… real)

"Oh, that would explain it." He said.

Ayumu raised a brow at the "dragon"; something was up here. Rarity lifted the tail of the costume so it could land on Spike's tail.

"Go!"

Spike tried to lift the tail but had no such luck. Rarity and Rainbow Dash looked at each other in defeat; they thought Spike would have at least a little bit of strength to lift it. So ultimately they flopped down to let him win, Rainbow's plan after all.

"Spike's the winner!" Garble announced lifting Spike up by the tail again and then dropped him. While Garble's gang cheered for him Ayumu looked at them funny Seriously? Oh well, might as well give Spike this one.

"Nice going little Spike. Maybe you are a dragon after all." Garble said as he flicked his chin with the whole "something on your chest" trick.

"Yeah… Maybe I am!" Spike said happily. Ayumu chuckled to himself as he helped the baby dragon up and Spike's "opponent" walked away.

"Rainbow Dash, I can't believe your silly plan actually worked!" Rarity said which earned her a smack from the pegasus. "Ow…"

"Alright! Who's next? Ayumu and I can take him!" Spike exclaimed with confidence.

Garble grinned at Spike. "Getting a little cocky, huh? I like that. So how about the both of you wrestle him?" He then pointed to a scrawny looking blue-green dragon in between Clump and Fizzle that looked even smaller than Spike.

The both of them looked at their opponent and smiled. "This is gonna be a breeze!" Ayumu said. Until Clump and Fizzle moved out of the way to see that he had an ENORMOUS tail much bigger than his body.

Spike's color nearly drained when he saw that and Ayumu's jaw hung open. Holy shit!

"Go!"

Spike was barely able to prepare as he flung towards the side of the mountain face first. "Spike!" As he was sliding back down Ayumu quickly went towards him. "Kid, are you alright?" he asked worriedly. Spike took a look at his companion but when it did it looked like there were three Ayumus front of him.

"Don't worry you three, I'm good!~" Spike replied in a daze. Ayumu angrily turned to the other dragons who were laughing their butts off.

"Alright, they asked for it!" Ayumu grunted as he went towards the dragon that threw Spike. "You. Me. NOW!"

The two of them crossed tails, the smaller one thinking this was an easy match. But he didn't know the tables have turned.

"100% power" He whispered to himself

"Go!"

This time Ayumu didn't go easy on his opponent, he immediately lifted the other dragon up with his tail, swung him around like a lasso and threw him across the mountain like Spike has. Even leaving cracks on the mountain.

"I'm running to the light as fast as my little legs can take me.~" The small dragon mumbled dizzily.

Everyone's jaws dropped, the teenage dragons, the adult dragons, the ponies, everyone. Spike had a shocked look of his own (now that he snapped out of his daze) but unlike everyone else his shock was mixed with awe. Ayumu told him he had no power limit but now he understood what he meant Wow…never underestimate a zombie!

"Whoa…"

"No way!"

"He actually beat Tiny? At tail-wrestling?!"

All the dragons stood there in amazement at the young dragon's strength and Twilight was slack-jawed at Ayumu. "That's impossible! Even if Ayumu's older and stronger than Spike, there's no way he wouldn't be able to lift that dragon's tail so easily!" She said in an excited whisper thinking he would an interesting research subject. And at the same time she was incredibly grateful to Ayumu for looking out for Spike.

"Not the time, Twilight! You can have your egghead moment later!" Rainbow whispered sharply at the unicorn.

Later…

"Ayumu the way you beat Tiny was so AWESOME! I knew there was something about you!" Garble elated as he Ayumu and Spike walked up a tall mountain of gemstones.

"Yeah, sure." Ayumu replied flatly.

"But Spike here still hasn't proven himself a dragon yet. Have you?"

"Don't I get an A for effort?" Spike asked hopefully.

"Maybe… let's see how you guys do in this next contest." Garble said as he pushed Spike off the gem pile, knocking Ayumu over as they both fell down.

"KING OF THE HOARD!" Garble yelled as the rest of his gang ran towards the gems. Spike climbed up the hill slowly trying to avoid the other dragons Garble threw off from the top. Ayumu was on the lookout pushing away anyone who try to knock the baby dragon off, he wasn't interested in winning but he could still help out. He was so busy keeping Vex away that he didn't notice Spear heading in Spike's direction.

He was about to tackle him until Spike's opponent from the tail-wrestling matches beat him to it. Again making him question that but he was a little busy at the moment. That is until he noticed Spike made it to the top and in the most satisfyingly way possible: tipping over Garble and Clump from below them. (Albeit by accident)

But Spike didn't seem to mind as he was smiling with pride "King of the hoa-" But his cry was cut short when he slipped out the pile and landing on Ayumu. "Oops. Sorry Ayumu." He apologized to his friend below him. "It's ok kid, I've hurt worse." Ayumu replied

"Looks like it's another fail for you little Spike. Can't wait to see you fail at lava cannonball too!" Garble replied smugly. Spike gulped nervously again but Ayumu looked flat out horrified.

Did he just say LAVA?!

Ooooh~ That doesn't sound good for Ayumu!
